AAA Online Interactive Driving Evaluation for Senior Citizens

Concerned it is not safe for your senior citizen loved one to drive?

Driving safety is one of the most difficult conversations between adult children and their elderly parents, and sometimes it helps to use a neutral evaluation tool.

AAA has developed an on-line, confidential self-screening program featuring a series of computer-based exercises that can be completed in 30 to 45 minutes and help you identify steps to reduce risk in eight key areas.

Check it out at www.SeniorDriving.AAA.com.

Here in Charlottesville, Virigina we also have the Virginia Driver Safety Laboratory, which provides comprehensive driving assessments for aging drivers—especially those with degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s — and people with cognitive or physical limitations following stroke or traumatic brain injury.

See this post for more information  about how driving skills are assessed for the elderly.
